The #Lensverse is poised to become the largest developer ecosystem in history, thanks to the unparalleled openness and composability of web3 ecosystems and the ease of use of our API. With a growing market demand for social media applications, we’re on track to become the biggest on-ramp to the blockchain industry yet.
In just six short months, we’ve already seen nearly 300 applications and hackathon projects built on Lens. With exciting new projects and verticals emerging all the time, it’s an exciting time to be a part of the Lensverse.
Boasting a user base of over 100,000 and facilitating over 10 million gasless transactions it’s an exhilarating time to be part of the Lensverse. So, let’s take a look at the latest curated applications, libraries, and resources that contribute to the growth and vitality of our ecosystem. None of this would have been achievable without the tireless efforts of all the incredibly talented teams working towards a shared vision.
Social Media ❤️🔥
Web2 networks all read from their unique, centralized database. There is no portability. Your profile, friends, and content are locked to a specific network and owned by the network operator. This causes each network to fight a zero-sum game for your attention.
Lens Protocol corrects this by being a user-owned, open social graph that any application can plug into. Since users own their data, they can bring it to any application built on top of Lens Protocol. As the true owners of their content, creators no longer need to worry about losing their content, audience, and livelihood based on the whims of an individual platform’s algorithms and policies.
Additionally, each application using Lens Protocol benefits the whole ecosystem, turning the zero-sum game into a collaborative one. Developers can design meaningful social experiences without having to turn to feedback mechanisms to lock in a user’s attention.

Tools 🛠
As users of web2 social networks, we often feel trapped by the restrictions placed on our content and social connections. We don’t have ownership or control over these assets, which makes it difficult to move to web3 social networks and take advantage of their decentralized and censorship-resistant features. That’s why we’re building tools that make the transition to web3 social easier and more seamless. By reducing friction and making it easier for people to join web3 social networks, we hope to challenge the dominance of web2 networks and create a more open and decentralized online environment.

Monetization 💰
Mirrors, collects, follows and comments allow creators to monetize their content directly to the user, without intermediaries and in a permissionaless way. Because creators own their content via the Lens Protocol, they can allow their followers to purchase that content. When a user posts a publication to their Profile NFT they have the option to set a Collect Module. This module allows other users to mint NFTs that link to the publication’s ContentURI. This module can contain any arbitrary logic to apply to the minting process and the resulting NFT. .

Algorithms 🧮
One challenge that every social application faces is how to moderate content and prevent spam in a censorship-resistant way. We know that if left unmoderated, spam and bots can ruin the experience and the trust and safety of the users. Having choice and transparency over which algorithms we use is part of the web3 social experience.

DAO Tools 🗳
DAOs embody the promise of decentralized ownership and distributed operations. DAOs manage votes, decisions and assets, bypassing traditional legal set-ups. As DAOs continue to evolve, they will need help to improve how they assemble, organize, communicate and operate.
Follow NFTs include built-in governance mechanisms. When following a profile, followers obtain a FollowNFT, which is the core building block of the Lens Protocol social graph. From a technical perspective, these NFTs contain governance-specific logic that allows any profile can spin up a DAO in minutes.
